Abstract

An environment improvement system includes: a sensor configured to detect a state of pollution by an environmental pollutant; a plurality of vehicles; and a server configured to communicate with the plurality of vehicles. The plurality of vehicles include vehicles including environment improvement devices configured to remove the environmental pollutant. When a pollution level by the environmental pollutant exceeds a threshold value in an area where the sensor is located, the server is configured to select at least a part of the vehicles including the environment improvement devices and cause the selected vehicles to move to the area, and to output a command to execute an environment improvement operation using the environment improvement devices.
